It won't let me look at the numbers on that one.

That's weird Ken. Keep driving and don't do a reset just yet. When you get to the point where you can add about 4-5 gallons, head back to that Mobil and top off. It takes 2-3 gallons for the computer to detect a refueling event and will begin to adjust the alky content all over again. I've had mine come "back on" and adjust many miles later, often days sometimes.
It's time Ken, It's time

I drove it all day today with no change to the ethanol percentage... I will see what happens when I fill up again.
Believe me, if I had the spare cash to drop on a Tech2 I would. I haven't worked since my accident back in October and now, since my wife works for the school, she is off for the summer = no extra funds for funs.... lol

So while driving today I let the torque scan run in the Torque Pro app and here is the results... no idea what any of this means just yet...
Also these show up in blue and say unknown...
Also the Transmission Temp shows up blue as well and doesn't work...

I reckon that the computer has adjusted but your app has not. Else your fuel economy will not improve at all.
Did you download all the GM specific ones?
Click the gear
Click settings
Click manage extra PID/sensor
Click the menu top right
Click predefined set
Select Pontiac GM Opal

Yes... I did that to start off with but some of them don't work... which is why I have been trying to figure out what's going on with it.
I don't know if it has something to do with the year of my truck or what.
I posted all the PIDs the scan found and haven't really dug in to research what those are.
I am also not sure what it means when it shows the "unknown" PIDs in blue...
More research for me.... Hooray!!!

Did you get the app to give the right info? How'd that tank of gasoline work? I reckon you'll need another tank or two to completely remove the alcohol.
My wife has been driving my truck, like she stole it, so the mileage on E85 is about like a winston cup car. I'm about to switch back to gasoline too for some tests. I can get Mobil's 93 for $3.19 a gallon as of yesterday.

Never could get the ethanol percentage to change. I'm on the second tank of 89 now and still reads 74.9%... my brother has another Bluetooth OBD2 adapter I am going to try and see if it makes Amy difference.
Haven't bothered checking fuel mileage yet as I have no way of verifying ethanol content so I figured I would wait a few tanks.
